They're rolling up the carpets and screwing down the windows all around the DC metro area as I type this. I thought this place went wacko during snow... hurricane-crazies make the snow-crazies look like Ben Stein on downers. I fully expect it to rain like hell all night, flood three block's worth of Old Town (like it always does), and then clear out by morning. Lots of people will be left with garages full of bottled water, batteries and flashlights.

When the feds close we close though, so I get a free day off. Predictably, the internet connection is fritzing, so blogging may be light, heavy, or moderate. Geeze, now I sound like a maxipad commercial.

Screaming baby time... back in a few.
